Our Provider

Psalm 145:13, 14

The LORD is faithful in all

               He says;

     He is gracious in all He

               does.

The LORD helps the fallen

      and lifts up those bent

               beneath their loads.  (NLT)

It has been said that a Christian’s faith is nothing more than a crutch to be leaned upon or a cop-out when things get too tough to deal with.  What many unbelievers refuse to acknowledge is that we, a very weak and tiny beings, live in a dangerously vast universe so big we cannot even imagine its enormous size and we are extremely helpless and vulnerable when compared to the incredible power it holds.  We are also incapable of defending ourselves against the unseen forces of evil that hate God and want to destroy all that is His—principalities and powers that exceed any and all human ability.  The truth is, my friends, we need some One greater than ourselves, the universe, and Satan if we want to be saved from the destruction that is eminent when we stand alone.  And that some One is our Creator and Savior, King Jesus. 

     The Lord God keeps the entire universe in precise running order by the Power of His Word, to protect our tiny planet that houses the most precious of all He has ever created; human life.  Mankind would not survive for a moment if it were not for our gracious and Almighty God.  We would never survive in this vast universe that is always on the move, nor could we withstand the attacks from Satan’s evil powers when they rear their ugly heads.  As God’s created people, we must depend upon His great power to survive. We need His gracious favor to sustain the bodies we live in, and we need the power of His Holy Spirit to keep our souls alive.  It is only because you have a loving, gracious, and merciful God, that you even wake up in the morning or make it through the entire day.  Our sovereign God, Creator of everything seen and unseen, has carefully and personally designed us with His mighty skillful hands.   The Living God wants only what is best for every person He blesses with the breath of life, and He does this by perfecting in us what we were originally designed to do—to glorify and honor Him by the way we live our lives.

                                   A Whisper of Hope 

You are, dear child…the most precious of all My creation and I will care for you above all else.  But in order for Me to do this, you must trust Me with your life.  Remember that the world hates Me and all those who follow My Way.  But fear nothing, for I have overcome the world and will protect you until it is time to come Home.  I Am your Provider, Protector, and Redeemer.  And even in the midst of your darkest hour, remember; I AM GOD.

2 Peter 1:2-4

As we know Jesus better, His divine power gives us everything we

need for living a godly life.  He has called us to receive His own glory

and goodness!  And by that same mighty power, He has given us all

of His rich and wonderful promises.  He has promised that you will

escape the decadence all around you caused by evil desires and that

you will share in His Divine Nature.  (NLT)

     He Himself gives life and breath to everything,

           and He satisfies every need there is.

                              (Acts 17:25)
